GREAT TELEsco oPEs.
Why They Are Of More Service to Science
Than Small instruments. !.

Why They Are Of More Service to Science
Than Small Instruments.
1t is frankly to be admitted that for
ordinary work enormous instruments
are not advantageous; those of moder-
ate dimensions will do far more easily
and rapidly the work for which they
are capable. It would be poor econo-
my to shoot squirrels with fifteen-inch
cannon. Observers with smaller in
strument, if they have sharp eyes and
use them faithfully, can always find
enough to do and do it we'll. But the
great telescope has two advantages
which are decisive. In the first place.
it collects more light, and so makes it
possible to use higher magnifying pow
ers, and thus virtually to draw nearer
to the object studied than we can with
the smaller one; and, in the next place,
in consequence of what is known as
''diffraction," the image OF luminous
point made by large lens is smaller
and sharper than that made by small
one. The smaller the telescope the
larger are the so-called "spurious
disks of a star, so that in the case of
a close double star, for instance, where
our nine-inch telescope shows only an
oval disk, the twenty-three inch shows
two fine distinctly separated points. 1t
is true that the atmospheric disturb
ances, which always prevail to a great
,er or.less extent, very seriously affect
the ''seeing" with large instruments.
The '|power of the prince of the air,
which is to an astronomer the very
type of the ''total depravity
of an inanimate things on nine
clear nights out of ten deprives a great
telescope of much of its just superior.
ity, so that on all ordinary night a good
observer with an aperture of twelve
or fifteen inches can make out all that
can be fairly seen with twenty-four OF
thirty inches at the same time. And
yet the writer has continually verified
in his experience the observation of
Mr.. Clark. who said: "You can always
see with large telescope every thing
shown by smaller one-a little better
if the seeing is bad; immensely better
if it is good" But when a really good
night comes, as once in a while it does,
then te;a great telescope heaven opens,
new worlds appear, old illusions are
dissipated, and observations and meas
urements before beyond the reach of
human skill become possible, easy and
accurate. In fact, the reasonabless Of
wanting still larger telescopes is iden-
tically the same as that of wanting Il
telescope at all. OF course, it is inl-
possible to predict what discoveries
will be made with the great Lick tele-
scope when it is erected on its noun
tain of privilege-very likely none. 1t
is not possible now to go out at night,
as some seem to think, and pick up
"discoveries" as one would gather
flowers in a forest. But we may be
sure of this, that it will collect data,
with micrometer, camera and spectre
scope, which will remove many old
difficulties, will clear up doubts, will
actually advance our knowledge, and,
what is still more important, will pre-
pare the way and hew the steps for
still higher climbing toward the stars.

sit was not until Catholic influence
gained the ascendancy in New York
that there was any religious free
dom there. In 1850 the Catholics were
prosecuted in New York State. This
religious bigotry and prejudice did not
abate until changed by that shot heard
round the world Then did manhood
assert itself, and from the carnage of
blasted homes, weeping widows and
orphaned children, the Church came
out free from bigotry.
The members of that Church fought
on every hill, from Bunker Hill to York-
town, under Washington. Charles Car
roll, Of Carrollton, one of the most illus
trious signers of the Declaration, was a
Catholic, and 0 'Brien, who won the Lex

another. Among the O'Briens, Car

10000 soldiers and 100000 in wealth.
Spain opened her ports to America and
supported our minister at Madrid, and
induced Northern Europe to sign the
armed neutrality act. The Catholic In
sdians of Maine were the truest friends
of the colonists. Two Catholic were on
the committee to draft the first consti-
tuition, and the first amendment which
guaranteed religious liberation was in

through the influence of Washington.
